Kid Cudi sells out back-to-back nights at the Warfield in San Francisco in support of ‘Passion Pain & Demon Slayin’

Kid Cudi’s Saturday night performance, one of two sold out weekend shows at The Warfield was an electrifying experience for an ecstatic crowd. With no openers, the packed house would erupt with chants of ‘Cudi! Cudi! Cudi!” several times prior to his entrance.

The stage came to life with stunning visuals projected onto a forrest-like backdrop as Cudi performed a number of hits including Day N’ Night, Pursuit of Happiness and Mr. Rager while his fans enthusiastically danced and sang along.

Kid Cudi who’s real name is Scott Mescudi, came to prominence in 2008 with his breakout single, “Day ‘n’ Nite,” a two-time Grammy nominated hit from his first studio album titled, ‘Man on the Moon: The End of Day,’ which launched Mescudi into mainstream success. He has since evolved from being solely a rapper to becoming a singer/songwriter, a highly sought out producer, guitarist and music video director. Mescudi has collaborated with a wide array of artists from JAY Z and Snoop Dogg to MGMT and Father John Misty.

The Cleveland native was initially discovered by Kanye West and signed to his GOOD Music label. He has since garnered a large cult following over the years and in 2016, West described him as “the most influential artist of the past 10 years.”
